Slow-roasted pork in Dane Hill
Hog roast hire in Dane Hill, carved to order
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include gatherings after a funeral and village fêtes and school fairs, serving salads, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.
In a rural place like Dane Hill, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. By late September, sunset in Dane Hill is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Gather dietary requirements early

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Dane Hill: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Dane Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
